Reincarnation Sim Game-Chapter 10 – A Visitor
I raised an eyebrow as the shrill-voiced figure emerged from the fog. She carried a leather bag five times her size and only wore a loincloth and a small cloth wrapped around her medium-sized breasts. All of her clothes were brown, almost matching her tan skin.
“Who are you?” I asked, observing her body. This muscular body type turns out to be interesting to look at too. The bulging muscles in her arms and abs give a different impression than other women.
“Huh? Have you forgotten about me…” The short black-haired woman chuckled. “Oh, I forgot. You are the new Sir Raymund.”
“What?” The information took me by surprise. “What do you mean?”
“Ah, so no one has told you yet?” The woman lowered the bag on her back. “Ah, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Anja.”
I approached the woman. “Please tell me what really happened back then. Why is there Raymund before me? What happened to him?”
“Unfortunately, I am only a servant of the God of Merchant. I didn’t get too much information. I don’t know much other than some time ago, there was a war in this realm of God.”.
“A war?”
“Yes, a war against an outside threat.” Anja shrugged. “The previous Lord Raymund joined the war and lost his life. However, a god exists because of the mind of the Levidna’s people. As long as many people have hope about anything, Lord Raymund will always be there because you are the God of hope.”
I see. Apparently, I could die in this world. Maybe that’s the game-over condition. “So, who was the enemy of God at that time?”
“I don’t even know that.” Anja shook her head. “So, do you want to buy the things I brought, sir? I was ordered by my master to meet you. He also said hello to you.”
“Ah… Thanks.” I nod. “But, before that, I want to ask you how to visit another god’s place. I’ll ask the other gods directly because you can answer my questions.”
“Huh? I see…. You don’t have the power to move to another god’s place yet, do you?” Anja asked back. “Well, I don’t know how the gods improve their abilities, but eventually, you’ll surely get that skill.”
It looks like the skill does exist, but it’s at the bottom. That means I still have to unlock many skills before unlocking skills to visit other gods.
“You said you were the servant of the God of merchants, right? So your job is to sell your boss’s stuff?” I deliberately changed the topic, feeling that there was no point in asking Anja about the history of this world. “What have you brought me here? Could I see it?”
“Of course!” Anja replied in a cheerful tone, then took something like a menu book from one of the pockets in her bag.
I received the book while frowning. At first, I thought that Anja would take things out of her huge bag.
An interface appeared in front of me, containing the categories of items, from ordinary clothes to armor, unimportant things to deadly weapons. There is also furniture such as beds and thrones. I even found a section that displays buildings that can be ordered, and the builders will work on them later.
I am interested in buying a throne as a sign that I am a god. My place is still too empty. However, apart from not having enough money, I also have to save up to give Elise better equipment.
And before that, I have to buy new clothes and underwear for Elise. However, first I opened the armor section just to have a look. Apparently, the gods in this realm still needed armor and weapons to defend themselves from outside threats.
“The items I carry today may not be available in the future!” Anja said enthusiastically. “So, if there’s something you want, better grab it right now, sir!”
I found something strange. Some armor is practical, with metal plates covering almost the entire body. However, some use very little metal. I even saw an outfit that was just a bodysuit that covered the whole body, with shoulder armor and a metal belt.
“What exactly are these armors? Why is there so little metal used?” I pointed at the fighter suit I was referring to. “Is this magically enhanced?”
“That’s right, and it’s made of Mythril!” Anja snapped her fingers. “It only requires using a little metal, but your whole body will be protected. Your movement will be faster because of the lighter outfit, but the downside is that it’s more expensive. To upgrade it also costs more.”
Those words made me couldn’t help but smile. It turned out that there was a way to make the armor I dreamed of. “Hey, does your god accept custom orders?”
“You can, sir. But it wasn’t the God of merchants who received the order. You have to make orders for the smithing god and the dress goddess. Well, I can take your order and pass it on to those gods. However, the price is certainly different from the already available items. A bit more expensive, but you are free to choose the shape and color.”
“Then, for example, I request armor with specifications similar to this…” I pointed at an armor with attribute C on the interface, “…how much do I have to pay?”
“Hmmm…. The armor cost 24,500s. The custom version might go as high as thirty thousand.”
I only have 1500 credits. It took a very long time for me to be able to order the custom armor, even though my head was already thinking about some cool designs.
However, I don’t want to give up. “Hey, is there no installment option, Anja? May I pay little by little until it is paid off?”
“I’m so sorry, sir.” Anja shrugged, widening her smile. “The gods never used that system.”
“Okay, then…. By the way, you definitely get a salary from your work, right? You have the savings to buy what you want?”
Anja’s brow furrowed. “Yes, I do get a salary and have savings, sir. But, why do you ask such a thing?”
“Before answering that, I want to ask another question. Your boss is very secretive with you, right?”
“Not only my master, but other gods are also very secretive to their servants.”
Seeing Anja’s face, which showed an increasingly confused expression, I knew this was the right time to carry out my plan. “One more question, if the gods here are so secretive, have they ever shown you the land of Levidna?”
